Hayworth’s losing his seat in last November’s election says more about the mindset of Arizona voters than it does about Hayworth himself.

We can only hope and pray that Mrs. Bill Clinton would be dumb enough to pick Barack Hussein Obama as her running mate. I have a sinking feeling though she will probably pick someone like Sam Nunn or George Mitchell, as they bring some sort of “sanity cred” to the ticket.

The way the Clinton’s operate... it can only be Richardson.

The dem choice for VP nominee will depend on which strategy the dems want to accentuate.

Blue State Strategy- Obama
Southern Strategy- Edwards
Western Strategy- Richardson

This VP strategy stuff is pure crap!

No president won the White House on the basis of their VP pick in the last 40 years.

Clinton will get incredible media just because she will be the first woman. Nominating Obama creates a minority ticket. The media will paint anyone opposing them as sexist and/or racist....a perfect Clinton strategy.

No matter who she picks, she is still very much disliked.

Agree with Karl Rove... she's fatally flawed.

If it was "pure crap", then it wouldn't much matter and nobody would make a fuss, would they?

It will be Richardson. Not Obama because they reason correctly that they already own anything he might bring. Not Warner or some southerner because it wouldn't work and they don't need it anyway. Richardson. Take it to the bank.

Now that I think about it again that makes absolute sense. While Obama brings nothing to the Mrs. Bill Clinton's candidacy, Richardson will deliver a huge chunk of Hispanic voters that Mrs. Bill Clinton currently cannot reach.

I also think it’ll be Richardson. New Mexico has been a swing state last couple of go rounds.

Republican J.D. Hayworth, who lost a presumably safe congressional seat in Arizona last year after taking a hard line on immigration, has resurfaced with a fundraising appeal for a new organization called Citizens United for a Secure America (CUSA).

Pure BS. JD lost to Mitchell, the former mayor of Tempe, took an equally "hard line" on illegal aliens. JD lost for a number of reasons, i.e., some personal questions about employment of his wife, a strong Dem candidate, and redistricting, which made his district more Dem.

The MSM and the Dems are trying to create the myth that a strong stand on illegal immigration is not a popular position and will cost candidates their elections if they take a tough stand. Nonsense.

You guys are missing the point about Obama.

Obama's main asset is not blacks - it's guilty whites, and in this regard he's just like Deval Patrick and Harold Ford, junior.

All three are nontraditional "black" politicians swept into office (or nearly missing it, in Ford's case) by white votes.

Hillary needs to overcome the fact that her "never vote for" numbers are too high. She cannot do this with any white VP nominee.

True and that is why Reagan made a mistake in picking Bush
He didn't need him to get elected

"Prominent Democrats from the South are in short supply today."

Don't be silly! The place is crawling with them! Cynthia McKinny! Janet Reno! Sheila Jackson Lee! Adam Gadahn! Now there's a thought! If he can reinvent himeself as a Muslim jihadi, why not a Southerner? Say, what about George Clooney's old man? Madeleine Allbright! If she didn't know she was a Jew, maybe she didn't know she was a Southerner either! William Jefferson? Or Tipper Gore--that's an interesting thought. Al! What about Jennifer Flowers; is she a Democrat? Kathleen Willey? She worked for the Democrat Party in Virginia. Juanita Broaddrick? Paula Jones? Are they still Democrats? What about the Mayor of Macon, Georgia? Whatzisname. Betcha haven't thought of him! Cindy Sheehan has spent time in Texas. Maybe she qualifies. Craig Livingstone! If nobody knows who hired him, maybe nobody knows whether he's from the South or not; so he might as well be. Sean Penn! He's been to New Orleans. Can he talk with a Southern accent? Tim Roberts? I think his mother-in-law lives in Florida. O. J. Simpson! He lives in Florida. If he's not a Democrat, he might be persuadable. And Bill Clinton! Any reason why he can't run for Vice President?

Get goin', Demos! You're overlooking some of your best resources!

So he would bring in the “guilty whites” and Hillary doesn’t already own them? Partial point granted. Not sure it’s significant.
